Hi Levente,
The most important reason of the existence of this package is to avoid
dependency bloat. Here's the dependency tree :
mingw-filesystem-scripts
| |
+----------------+ +---------------+
| |
mingw32-filesystem mingw64-filesystem
| |
+----------------+ +---------------+
| |
mingw-filesystem
The mingw-filesystem-scripts package contains wrapper scripts and RPM
macros which are generic for both the mingw32 and mingw64 targets. For
these wrapper scripts and RPM macros it doesn't matter whether
mingw32-filesystem or mingw64-filesystem is installed.
The mingw-filesystem package used to be an empty package which just
contains dependencies on both mingw32-filesystem and mingw64-filesystem.
If one wants to install this package, both the mingw32 and the mingw64
pieces will be pulled in. I've just applied a change so that all RPM
macros which depend on both mingw32-filesystem and mingw64-filesystem
will be bundled with this package (this wasn't the case before).
Kind regards,
Erik van Pienbroek
